Did you compile it as C++ code?

[moot1]

yes i did

[moot1]

it works on dev c++ but not on code:: blocks

It's bad code. However, the reason it's failing for you is that YOU'RE COMPILING IT AS C CODE. You've named your file tictactoe.c and your compiler thinks it's C code.

name is a single char. What happens when someone enters more than a single char?

system("pause"); This is BAD. How many times do we have to tell you? Why do you come here to ask questions if you refuse to listen to the answers?

Dev-C++ is bad. BAD BAD BAD. How many times do we have to say it to you? If you insist on using Dev-C++, there is a more recent (unofficial - done by some other guy) one that is better. http://orwellengine.blogspot.com/

im done using dev c++.i was just using dev c++ because i was trying to figure out why code::blocks wasnt working. and what should i use instead of system("pause")

[moot1]

and how do i switch it to c++ instead of c

what should i use instead of system("pause")

If you can't simply run it from the command line, try the suggestion here: http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-61.html

I suspect it's basing its guess of what language you're using on the file extension. Make sure the name of the file ends with .cpp

[Peter87]

Easiest way is to change the file extension from .c to .cpp

system("pause") works but you should know that it only works properly on windows.

What can I use instead of system ("pause")?

And yes you should switch to C++.
